An aerial view of Totem Lake Boulevard reveals two of the Totem Lake Gateway's most prominent features: a rebuilt roadway and an 11-foot-wide sidewalk.

Kirkland earned a $4.83 million grant in November 2017 from Washington’s Transportation Improvement Board that helped fund a series of improvements on sections of Totem Lake Boulevard and 120th Avenue Northeast. Those improvements restored the sections of roadway that were settling and created wide sidewalks. The project also installed lighting that complements the pedestrian plazas and walkways created by the Village at Totem Lake.

Updates & information

Update (Oct. 29, 2020) -- Kirkland’s contractor plans to suspend work along Totem Lake Boulevard for a month or so while its subcontractor manufacturers the railing that divides it from Totem Lake.

 

Marshbank Construction has already rebuilt and repaved Totem Lake Boulevard. The contractor also built 11-foot-wide sidewalk between the Boulevard’s northbound lanes and Totem Lake. This fall, it is installing street lights and a fence along the sidewalk that will complement the Village at Totem Lake’s plazas and walkways. 

 

The project upgraded the area’s stormwater system, as well, which will direct stormwater runoff into Totem Lake and away from the roadway near Comfort Inn.
